Zaun fired from Sportsnet over alleged ‘inappropriate behavior'

Former MLB catcher Gregg Zaun had his contract with Canadian broadcaster Sportsnet terminated on Thursday over “several” complaints about “inappropriate behavior” in the workplace from female colleagues.

Rogers Media, which owns Sportsnet as well as the Blue Jays, wrote in a memo to staff that the complaints against Zaun were brought to light this week, according to News957.

“After investigating the matter, we decided to terminate his contract, effective immediately,” the memo reads. “We believe in a professional workplace where all employees feel comfortable and respected... We are grateful to the employees who spoke with us and will take every measure to protect their privacy.”
